ICE 'mistakenly' raids wrong home with mother and three daughters home, forces them out undressed, steals their life savings, then leaves.

Who gave them an incorrect warrant? What was it for? What's the point of listing names on a warrant if you ignore them? Why is every department claiming they weren't involved? Why were they collecting evidence from people not involved or listed on the warrant?
What exactly are any of us supposed to do if this happens?
From a German point of view, ICE came out of nowhere.
After checking, i figured that they exist for quite a while, but they never had the "authority" and "power" they like to show off nowadays. These were things Trump gave them.
They seem pretty much unhinged.
Are they even trained for the things they are doing or is it more comparable to trump giving a mediocre security agency and it's mostly scummy staff the power to do what they want?
ICE training is famously brief. They are not trained in laws or legal structures. They are effectively federal local cops, if that makes sense (it probably doesn't since you're German, so let me try to explain it a different way)
In the United States many police departments prefer police officers without college education or strong critical thinking skills. ICE is one of them. ICE officer agents are selected for their tendency towards violence and a willingness to execute orders without fail or question. The goal is for them to simply not be able to incriminate themselves in a court of law by way of they simply didn't know the law. The further goal is that when the right circumstances arrive they'll just follow orders with a near mad sense of duty without any form of ethics getting in the way of stopping them.
To really drive home for you who ICE is, as a German. ICE is a bunch of Adolf Eichmanns all running around with big high capacity guns and zip ties
The goal is for them to simply not be able to incriminate themselves in a court of law by way of they simply didn’t know the law.
Ignorance of the law is not a defense unless you are enforcing the law.
Moreover every time they do these hiring pushes they end up with handfuls of cartel members that just open gates to their friends, help with murder so on and so forth. They made it so much easier to get in now that they lowered hiring standards and reduced background checks.
That's exactly the impression i had.
I am a millennial, and I am older than ICE, and credit scores - for what that's worth. edit: not all credit scores, just the way we understand them now, thank you for the correction!
Credit scores have been around since the '50s. Maybe you're thinking of what is specifically the FICO score.
credit scores have been around a long time. it just used to be secret bullshit, not something you can literally track in realtime yourself like today. (it's still mostly secret bullshit, they just let you see a 'score' now).
A relatively unbiased answer to your questions:
FACTS
ICE does not distinguish much between applicants who have completed high school and applicants with college education. Like the US military, most applicants do not have college degrees.
The lengthy application process and rigorous training historically rejects over 70% of prospective agents.
Training is at an academy with mandatory residence requirements. It’s 40 hours a week for 18 weeks and includes physical fitness, Spanish language, defensive maneuvers, de-escalation techniques, extensive federal law, weapon skills, and cultural training. There are several exams, and many new hires don’t complete training. Everyone has to be pepper-sprayed in order to understand how serious it is, and it is emphasized that use of force is always a last resort.
After graduation, new ICE agents serve a one year probationary period while being paired with a seasoned agent, for a more effective means of training.
OPINION
There is a hierarchy within federal law enforcement agencies; generally speaking, ICE agents are the least respected. The recent behavior of ICE agents is absolutely a reflection of the Trump administration.

Thanks for the PDF.
I guess, things like cultural training and de-escalation techniques will soon be replaced with cult training and escalation techniques, respectively.
When i was 10 and home alone, i found pepper spray in my moms bag. I understood right there how serious it is. I did what any 10 year old kid would do, but luckily didn't spray it straight in my face. I sprayed it around like an air refresher and the moment i got some sprinkles on my face, in my eyes, i knew i fucked up.
I am armed. The first ICE agent to knock on my door doesn't go home. And we roll from there. Fuck this.
A lot of people commenting clearly did not read the article.
There are a lot of problems with this operation, but let's keep it within the facts.
So, all I need to rob whoever I want is to get some men, some guns, some lore ipsum warrants, and call myself ice.
I almost hope this is what that was... it would make a bit less horrible. Not by much tho.
The president's private militias systematically terrorize the working class. There's nothing left. We'll find out the full extent of what they've done once the regime collapses under its own weight. If these are the stories getting out, what ones haven't gotten out yet.
Next they’ll be quartering soldiers in your house. Not because they need to, just because they’re trying to make sure they knock out the entire bill of rights within a year.
Fucking gICEtapo at it again.
At this point, shooting them on sight is justifiable
Its like a federal version of the shield.
Not trying to blame victims here but there are reasons you don’t keep your life savings in cash. Civil forfeiture has been around for a long time
Not trying to blame victims
You are doing exactly that.
Not to be an asshole, but...
Is an asshole.
Not to be racist, but...
Is racist.
Not to be [shitty human traits], but...
Is [shitty human trait].
I dislike it when people do that. You can't excuse your wrongness by admitting you're wrong beforehand...
Next you’ll tell me that suggesting to look both ways before crossing the road is blaming the victims of traffic incidents.
They took their wallets, cell phones, laptops, funds.
You can't log back into your bank without 2fa in a lot of cases.
You can't get a replacement SIM or phone without ID, and money.
You need several forms of ID to get anything from your bank if your card is missing.
They just moved weeks ago from another state and may not have had a local bank yet.
The mother asked for a business card or some sort of paperwork to try to get their stuff back or at least know who to talk to, ICE refused.
They took the mom, and adolescent daughters out of the house in underwear, wouldn't let them get dressed, possibly cause ICE believed they would hide any illegal immigrants in their vaginas? Unsure.
Instead of looking at the situation and coming to the logical conclusion that the people are not involved, they were fucking disgusting wannabe Stasi police, making America great one traumatized little girl at a time.
I fully agree with you and think that this is the logical consequence of fascist thinking. This event is unconscionable and I presume that there is a line of lawyers waiting to offer their services. They will be made whole and then some…eventually. I feel terrible for the trauma they gave gone through.
Civil forfeiture covers bank accounts too, so your point is moot.
five days or less and the administration will be claiming this entire family were gang members; we'll be looking at photoshopped tattoos in no time.
Those hello kitty tattoos are a sure sign of Yakuza affiliation.
many people are saying it..
